Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

Even if Li Mo was contaminated by dirty things, Shi Yu Qiluo felt that as such a good person, he should be able to handle his own special balance and not expose everyone to the risk of death.

"By the way, how did you know to drip blood on the spirit tablet? I've never heard of these procedures. You're from Shenzhou, right?"

Shigure Kirara kept asking questions like a curious baby.

If it were anyone else, Li Mo wouldn't explain.

Because there is no need and no need.

But the tragic death of Shigure Kirara in the previous timeline was still vivid in her mind. She could have used everyone as bait and escaped.

But she still believed in herself and believed that she could save everyone.

Just for an insignificant promise.

Even Li Mo himself did not take that agreement seriously. After all, Li Mo had encountered situations where people agreed verbally but then fled when disaster struck.

The so-called promises and vows, when faced with the test of death, are like a candle in the wind, which will be extinguished at the first blow.

In supernatural events, betrayal seems to be a very normal thing, while keeping promises is very strange.

Li Mo is a very vengeful person. As long as he is alive, he will definitely take revenge on those who betrayed him and put him to death.

Similarly, Li Mo will treat sincerely those who keep their promise to help him, even if this incident does not happen in the restarted world.

Li Mo: "Yes, I'm from Shenzhou, and..."

"Thank you, Qiluo." The sudden thanks left Shiyu Qiluo speechless.

"Ah? I didn't do anything? What's that saying in Shenzhou? No merit, no reward. We should be the ones thanking you. You're amazing, thank you very much! If you need anything in the future, you can come to the Destiny headquarters to find me! My name is Shigure Kirara, a quasi-S-class Valkyrie of Destiny, your comrade!"

Shi Yu Qiluo smiled and used her hand to comb her sky-blue hair behind her head. A fresh fragrance filled the air, slightly reducing the foul smell in the auditorium.

Li Mo's expression froze. He wanted to smile back but couldn't, so he could only nod coldly.

"I've roughly figured out how to resolve this paranormal incident. No, I can't guarantee a complete resolution in a short period of time, but at least following my lead will guarantee your survival. I'll figure out what happens next."

Li Mo waved his hand, and Shi Yu Qiluo obediently walked to Li Mo's side and looked into the black coffin together.

Everyone's eyes followed their lead and looked towards the unknown black coffin.

Through the gap left, one can clearly see a headless male corpse lying flat in the coffin with his hands folded on his chest.

Only half of the neck was left, but surprisingly, there was no sign of decay, as if the animal had just died...

"Huh!? Why is there still a body in the coffin? We checked everywhere when we entered the auditorium. There's no way we didn't know there was a body in the coffin. I swear on Lady Cecilia's name that we were sure there was no body in the coffin when we first came in!"

Shigure Kirara raised her hand seriously, as if she was really swearing.

Li Mo really wanted to complain, why did you use Cecilia? Can't you use your own name?

But if you think about it from another perspective, it is precisely because Cecilia's status in Shigure Kirara's heart is higher than his own, so he swore in Cecilia's name to ensure that he was not lying.

Thinking faster and faster...

In just a moment, several reasons emerged in Li Mo's mind.

"If I'm not mistaken, this corpse... should be me." Li Mo calmly stated the possible fact that he thought was most likely.

"You...you? You!? Gloomy man, don't joke with me. This corpse is you?!" Shi Yu Qiluo's eyes suddenly widened like copper bells, as if she had heard some outrageous nonsense.

"Huh? This joke isn't funny."

"Yeah, aren't you living well in front of us?"

Everyone started discussing, and Saori Tsuru Yuno shook his head repeatedly, denying this possibility: "Brother, you are clearly standing in front of us, you are not the corpse in the coffin!"

There is no doubt that no one believed Li Mo's words.

But Li Mo's previous strange but correct behaviors made everyone keep this possibility in their hearts.

Because Li Mo's actions were too decisive and direct.

"Wait, I remember he..."

In silent silence, the students brought by Li Mo told Shi Yu Qiluo's team members about Li Mo's previous deeds.

He walked into the broadcasting room without opening the door, and also revealed the rule that opening the door would lead to death.

In the radio room, it was asserted that Ackley was a ghost and evidence was directly produced.

Then, at exactly seven o'clock, he led everyone into the auditorium without taking any detour.

The human-headed ghost attacked and when it approached the auditorium, it dripped blood on the spirit tablet without delay, lifted the coffin lid and covered it to stop the human-head's activities.

……

Some behaviors can be explained by being sharp-minded, observant, and having an active mind, but some things that happen for no reason can never be explained.

For a moment, almost everyone subconsciously took a step away from Li Mo.

However, there are still a few people who did not retreat, such as Shigure Kirara and Saori Tsuruyu.

After all, they knew very well that if it weren't for Li Mo, they would have died long ago. If Li Mo was a ghost, there would be no need for him to save them.

In order not to disappoint Li Mo, they not only did not retreat, but moved closer.

Even though Li Mo's current state does not look like a normal person.

But now Li Mo doesn't feel heartbroken or disappointed.

Li Mo placed the spirit tablet on it. The statue of Li Mo on the tablet was ashen, with a dark hole on his forehead, as if it had been pierced by something.

The clothes on the headless male corpse in the black coffin were exactly the same style as Li Mo's current clothes.

"This is a 'human' funeral. We must follow the funeral procedures honestly, otherwise the ghost outside will wake up again. If we don't follow the funeral rules, the incense on the grave will not work with the hall to block the ghost's perception."

Chapter 12 The Ghost Behind

"The five incense sticks correspond to the five days of the funeral. Funerals in different dynasties and eras are different, but I roughly guess that they are these five: coffining, vigil, announcing the death, condolences, and burial."

"After all, there aren't any extra items here to provide for other rituals."

"If the grave incense runs out early, everyone will die."

Shi Yu Qiluo seemed to understand, but she couldn't help asking, "But what does this have to do with you in the coffin? You're clearly still alive. This doesn't make sense at all."

Li Mo turned to look at his own portrait, "I can't explain the reason to you, but there is no doubt that my blood worked."

"You can see that there is only my head on the memorial tablet, but there is no head in the coffin."

"The corpse and the memorial tablet are fake?" Shigure Qiluo said.

"Not sure, but it's probably true." Li Mo responded.

"...You, are dead?"

"So you're a ghost now?"

Questions arise endlessly.

The scene once again fell into desolation and depression.

Because they really didn't know that Li Mo had died once in the previous ten minutes and even his head was eaten by someone.

Li Mo himself was also confused. Why was his body before the restart here? Was this body the first time he died, or the second time?

Or maybe this is not the corpse from before the reboot, but some strange phenomenon distorts cognition.

If it is the first case, then the number of deaths is not important, what is important is why the body is here before the restart.

Who put it in?

Human-headed ghosts are only the lowest level of ghosts, and force can even stop them for a short time.

Their greatest danger is that they can graft themselves onto living people, blend into the crowd, and wait until seven o'clock in the evening to eat the people around them.

The person who has been grafted with a human-headed ghost does not even realize that he is a ghost.

But it's not dangerous.

The truly dangerous and weird thing is the culprit that caused Li Mo's first death, the pattern of being beheaded the moment he opened the door and entered.

……

Wait, who did I see the first time I died?

Li Mo suddenly woke up and realized the significance of this funeral.

No...that's not right.

Maybe it's not me who should lie in the black coffin, but——

Kiana.

The enemy I have to face is definitely not that shameful thing called a human-headed ghost.

Li Mo immediately confirmed this idea.

In the remaining memory of the first death, he clearly felt that the abnormal Kiana was holding him and eating him bit by bit.

And so far, Li Mo doesn't even have a second piece of news related to Kiana.

This is not right. You know, after the first death, Kiana immediately appeared behind him.

This means that as soon as he dies, Kiana will appear immediately.

The corpse in the black coffin was probably placed there by Kiana herself. As for why there is no head, perhaps the head was eaten by a human-headed ghost and turned into the current... "me".

Thinking of this, Li Mo felt as if a thorn in his back was stabbed, and felt creepy. He had died twice and most of his emotions had been lost, but he could still feel the horror.

Maybe the person now is not himself at all, but a ghost with a human head.

It's just that I haven't noticed it yet.

The real Li Mo had died in the strange frenzy just now.

"!" Li Mo immediately touched his neck. This action made Shi Yu Qiluo and others very confused. Why did he touch his neck for no reason?

The student who escaped from the broadcasting room with Li Mo suddenly realized something and hurriedly followed Li Mo to touch his neck.

"Captain? What are they doing?"

"Yeah, such strange behavior, could it be all ghosts..."

Shigure Kirara made a face like "Who should I ask?" and said, "Uh, maybe I got scared just now, so I want to stretch my neck."

At this time, Saori Tsuruyu answered: "No, Shigure Kirara-senpai, the human-headed ghost can eat our heads and then graft them onto other people's bodies to pretend to be human."

Shigure Kirara: "Ah? That's all right!? But won't he be recognized if he's grafted into someone else's body? I'm sure I'll remember when I was eaten by the human-headed ghost. Wouldn't resurrection doubt my memory?"

Saori Tsuruyu: "No, people who are eaten by the human-headed ghost will have their memories tampered with, and they will believe that all facts are reasonable, even if there are obvious loopholes in the facts. Before, in the broadcasting room, we mistakenly thought that a cleaner was our dean, but Saint Freya doesn't have a dean, but... the dean is indeed a very good person."

"The only loophole is that for people possessed by the human-headed ghost, the connection between the neck and the head is not so perfect. There is an invisible seam that can be felt."

Speaking of this, Saori Tsuruyu's eyes showed respect. Aikeli chose not to cause trouble to anyone. Not everyone has the courage to admit that he is a ghost.

"Hiss... It sounds a bit scary. No, I have to touch it too!" Shi Yu Qiluo and her teammates immediately reached out to touch it after hearing this.

Li Mo interrupted, "No need, you are not human-headed ghosts, I'm sure."

Shigure Kirara: "How do you know?"

Li Mo pointed at the clock and said, "After seven o'clock, the human-headed ghost will change its behavior and become violent. If one of us was possessed by a human-headed ghost, we would have already revealed our flaws and started killing people, and the human heads outside would have rushed in."

"After all, I've said before that grave incense can suppress, but it doesn't mean it can stop, especially during the weird frenzy. And the auditorium can only block the ghosts' perception when the grave incense is burning, and it can't stop them."

"Once one of us is grafted with a human-headed ghost, the ghosts outside will sense it and immediately rush in to attack us."

After Li Mo finished speaking, everyone slowly put down their hands and breathed a sigh of relief. No one wanted to get too close to their teammate, but suddenly the teammate's head turned 180 degrees, smiled strangely, and suddenly bit their head.

However, some timid people still keep watching other people's necks for cracks.

Shigure Kirara took a deep breath, then asked in confusion: "Then why are you touching your neck? If you were a ghost, you would have started killing people by now."

Li Mo did not answer and remained silent for a long time.

"My situation is different from yours..."

"So you suspect that you are dead, the corpse in the coffin is the real you, and the one who is alive now is you who is possessed by the human-headed ghost?" Shi Yu Qiluo analyzed, and suddenly a terrifying fact was presented to everyone.

Li Mo put down his hand, "But now I am sure that I am not a human-headed ghost. The corpse in the coffin is caused by other reasons..."

"What's the reason?" Shi Yu Qiluo was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"I don't want to explain, and I can't explain."
